minutes of the regular orono park commission ^ <br />MEETING HELD ON APRIL 1, 1996 L/K AFT <br />Ilse asked for consideration of another option. She asked the Commission and developer <br />to consider a private trail over the easement as the trail would only accommodate those <br />Uving in the subdivision. Use did not beUcve taking a pubUc easement would be a good <br />way to spend City money. Flint said he did not see it as a secondary access. Use <br />responded that this would all be assuming that the bank property was obtained. <br />McMillan moved. White seconded, to recommend taking cash for the Park Dedication. <br />McMillan said it would be great if the developer decides to add an internal trail but could <br />not see spending the Park Dedication amount for a possible future access. <br />Flint responded that if only a 10' easement totaling 1500 s.f, or 3000 s.f if 20* were taken, <br />out of a total development of 7 acres, it would be less than 10% of 1 acre. Fl'uit did not <br />see this as a significant dollar amount. Flint said without a public access, a problem could <br />be created and saw it as a mistake not to take this small portion of land for Park <br />DedicatioiL <br />rise asked Bran Rasmussen his opinion of such a trail from a neighbor standpoint. <br />Rasmussen saw the trail easement as a large advantage and resulting in reduced parking. <br />Hse questioned if the road was private, if a person could walk down the road who did not <br />Uve in the subdivision. KeUey informed the Commission that this area was sewered which <br />would most likely result in the City taking the road as pubUc. Flint said this would not <br />make a difference as he saw the access as avaUable for the homeowners in the subdivision. <br />i <br />'■> ’
